SSC members on IPCC AR6

PAGES Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) and Executive Committe (EXCOM) members Pascale Braconnot (France) and Darrell Kaufman (USA) have been selected for the IPCC Assessment Report 6 Working Group I.

Pictured at the 2017 SSC Meeting, Braconnot (middle row, white top) will be Review Editor of Chapter 8 and Kaufman (bottom row, far left) will be Lead Author in Chapter Two.

"The paleo perspective plays a key role in climate science and I’m honored to help represent our community in the IPCC process," said Kaufman. "I’m committed to integrating the paleo perspective into AR6 in a way that highlights the most policy-relevant aspects of our science – an opportunity that I’ve aspired to for many years."

PAGES congratulates them both, and all paleoscientists involved in the three working groups. The full lists of authors chosen for WG I - The Physical Science Basis, WG II - Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability and WG III - Mitigation of Climate Change will be available here soon.

The 47th Session of the IPCC will be held from 13-16 March 2018 in Paris, France. The three Working Group contributions to AR6 will be finalized in 2021.
